The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

Elisabeth Elliot

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

Faith Need Religious Uncertain Unknown Walk
Sometimes God’s refusals are His mercies.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Himself Mercy Perspective Rejection Time
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business God Himself Ocean Planning Prayer
Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Choice Death Errors Feeling Forget Necessary Obedience Possible
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Happiness Himself Love Myself Obedience Thinking
Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for

The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman.

A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.

Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?

Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Hands Leaving Wound Yourself
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Evidence God Guide Hands Himself Imagination Promise
The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God, or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Complain Gratitude Habit Life Possible Satisfaction Thankful
If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.
